Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to amend the elder law, in relation to the match requirements for aid granted by the supportive service program for classic and neighborhood naturally occurring retirement communities
Purpose or general idea of bill
The purpose of this bill is to make it easier for low and moderate income areas to meet the match requirement for state funding of a classic or neighborhood naturally occurring retirement community (NORC).
Summary of specific provisions
Amends section 209 of the Elder Law to lower the required match of state funding from 100% of state funding to 25% of state funding. Half of the matching dollars would be required to come from the community served.
Justification
NORCs are an important resource to serve low and moderate income seniors. These seniors are the most in need of the kinds of supportive services that a NORC can provide, but also face the most challenges to raise matching funds. The support that comes from the community is vital to the success of the program. By lowering the match requirement, we will ensure the continued support of the community while lowering barriers to accessing state funding.
